Trump University Takes It Live!

An Interview with Dee Colwell, the power behind Trump University’s new Live Events

Trump University has already gained recognition as the world’s fastest growing institution of electronic and interactive learning. So why is Trump University introducing an equally fast-growing series of live seminars and workshops? Barry Lenson, our Executive Editor, talked with Dee Colwell, Trump University’s Director of Operations, to learn more.

Barry: Why is Trump University, a center of online and interactive learning, moving into live events?

Dee: There’s no doubt that interactive learning is powerful and flexible. But to take advantage of certain areas of hot opportunity like foreclosures, people need knowledge that is specialized, timely and up-to-the-minute. Our new Live Events deliver just that - action-oriented education that equips our students to achieve success in the real world, right away, today.

Barry: What topics are taught in Live Events?

Dee: Our current offerings include: Profiting from Foreclosure; Profiting from Real Estate; Commercial and Multi-Family Retreats; Wholesale/Lease Options Retreats; and Asset Protection Retreats.

Barry: I know that our readers can investigate these events in depth by visiting the Live Events section on the Trump University Website. But while I have you here, can you give me some examples of what students can expect to learn in one of our seminars?

Dee: Let me talk about our Fast Track to Foreclosure Live Event. Foreclosures are certainly one of the hottest topics today and to take advantage, students need to get up the learning curve quickly. So when they attend this event - a three-day, in-depth learning experience - they come away knowing how to locate foreclosure opportunities, how to beat competitors to them, how to arrange financing, how to capitalize every stage of the process - and finally, how to rent, renovate or sell properties after they have bought them.

Barry: So people aren’t just learning how to start, but how to finish?

Dee:  Absolutely. We are able to give that kind of advice because all of the instructors have made a tremendous amount of money by investing in real estate and in foreclosures specifically. Then we have our Profit from Real Estate Seminar, which quickly teaches the most solid fundamental skills for real estate success, with an emphasis on keeping the money you make, no matter how risky the real estate climate becomes. As is the case with everything at Trump University, the emphasis is on proven strategies that minimize the uncertainties, taught by people who have made them work.

Barry: Do you plan to add more topics? 

Dee: We are now developing a series of Personal Finance Live Events. Like everything else at Trump University, they will be practical, reality-based and on a much higher level than seminars that are offered anywhere else.

Barry: So what if I live in, say, Minneapolis? Will I find a live event there, or do I have to fly to California or New York?

Dee: As a matter of fact, you will find Live Events being held in Minneapolis! We are currently holding them in Atlanta, Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington DC. With more locations to come.

Barry: What’s the take-away for participants?

Dee: SUCCESS!!!! The best education provided by industry leaders. The goal of all of our seminars is to educate and empower individuals to turn their dreams into reality by applying real-life strategies. In case you think I am whistling Dixie, let me share these words from Randolph L from Jupiter, Florida . . .

“The information and encouragement received through the coaching and seminar program has resulted in both realized and unlimited potential profits. Thusly, our family’s real estate interests will soon double in value with a $500,000 increase to our net worth.

“By way of example, after becoming a Trump University student my first deal netted a $20,000 incentive. One month later, I closed a second transaction with a net of $30,000 plus, notwithstanding the development potential currently in progress. In the alternative, I was able to avoid several transactions which appeared attractive going in, yet proved to be otherwise once discussed and analyzed.

“In closing, the credit for the successes outlined must be shared with Trump University and my mentor, for providing the encouragement to forge ahead and find deals in what has proven to be a difficult market, but more importantly, by teaching the transaction analysis process.”

Barry: So success speaks for itself. Thanks for spending the time with me today, Dee.

Dee: Thank you! Hope to see your face, and the faces of all the readers of the Donald Trump Blog, at one of our upcoming Live Events.
